This guy has been in contact with Datong's fine work a lot, his ambitions have gradually expanded, and he has begun to conspire to rebel. He wants to make meritorious service and become a Chinese, and maybe he can even get a job as an official.

The North Korean peasant army in Pyongan Road and Huanghai Road more or less have the shadow of Datong's meticulous work.

These small works, as well as the off-line of the small works, are like Chinese envoys, thinking about doing great things all the time!

Han Qiyuan didn't dare to attack Huining City directly, so he only led hundreds of peasant troops to attack the mountainous villages in the north of the city.They killed the landlords when they saw them, and divided up the land and property. The team gradually grew to more than 2000 people. The surrounding landlords were so frightened that they hid in the city and urged the defenders in the city to quell the chaos.

Huining is located on the border between China and North Korea, and the North Korean garrison has three thousand troops, all of which belong to the "elite".

The county guard ordered the military attache to send out troops, and marched northward in mighty force.Before these North Korean officers and soldiers crossed the tributary of the Tumen River, the peasant army in the mountains began to move, killing all the way along the valley to the east, and the landlords along the way were either killed or fled with their families.

The governor of Jingcheng learned that there was a peasant uprising, and began to send troops to suppress it, and Lian quickly contacted the officers and soldiers of Guangxing County.

The officers and soldiers of the three counties jointly encircled and suppressed, constantly reducing the space for the peasant army's activities.

The peasant army under Han Qiyuan's command has expanded to more than 5000 people including the old, weak, sick and disabled.It is said that it is a peasant army, but it is more like a beggar army. The Korean people here are living a miserable life.

They did not dare to fight with North Korean officers and soldiers, and fled all the way north through the mountains, killing landlords when they saw them.Then... across the Tumen River and came to China, Han Qiyuan even sent his confidants to report to the National Security Office.

Well, the officers and soldiers of the three counties of North Korea have nothing to do with looking at the Tumen River. They dare not go to China's territory to quell the chaos.

Han Qiyuan traveled upstream along the Tumen River, made a large number of rafts, and crossed the river to plunder from time to time.Kill the landlords, coerce the peasants, and send out small groups of troops to investigate. Once they encounter officers and soldiers, they will immediately cross the river and enter China.

The North Korean officers and soldiers were all mad with anger. Every time they chased them desperately, they looked at the river stupidly.

At the same time, an uprising broke out in Qingxing County.

Qingxing City is to the south of the mouth of the Tumen River, and the farmers here often come into contact with Han immigrants.In order to quell the chaos, the three counties expropriated a large number of peasants and food, which made the poor farmers even more dissatisfied.

As the officers and soldiers chased to the west, the farmers here also rose up.Led by a self-cultivator named Li Jinlong, they killed the landlords along the way. Taking advantage of the transfer of officers and soldiers from Qingxing City, hundreds of peasant troops entered the city and captured Qingxing County.

Li Jinlong is not an off-line of Datong Secret Works, but this guy is even more ambitious. He claims to be a descendant of King Sejong, and he is clamoring to kill Hanyang and become king.As long as he becomes king, he will be exempted from the national ten-year land tax, and nearby Korean farmers have come to vote.

This person conquered Qingxing City, and even became the king of the establishment, Jianyuan Yuxing, and appointed Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

Han Qiyuan's thousands of peasants have been moving repeatedly on the border between China and North Korea.Hey, I'm in North Korea, hey, I'm in China again, the officers and soldiers chased me so hard that I didn't want to chase them anymore.At this moment, when they heard that Qingxing City had fallen, and there was a guy claiming the title of King Jianzhi, he immediately left Han Qiyuan behind and rushed to attack Qingxing City.

Li Jinlong also wanted to expand his territory, so he took the initiative to attack to the west, but was beaten by North Korean officers and soldiers and fled in embarrassment. He retreated all the way to Qingxing City and was besieged by groups.

When Han Qiyuan found out that the officers and soldiers had left, he became more courageous and crossed the river to fight towards Huining City.

The officers and soldiers of Huining City were currently besieging Qingxing, and the defenders were all rubbish troops.Han Qiyuan led the army of beggars and peasants, and unexpectedly defeated in the first battle, and proclaimed himself the magistrate of Ning County of the Datong China Association.

This guy has a very murderous intention, and at the same time has strict military discipline.

He divided the houses and shops in the city into three classes. The upper-class house owners can be killed and all their belongings will be confiscated;All the vagrants in the city were organized into the army, which quickly corrupted military discipline.

Due to the surge in military robbery incidents, Han Qiyuan was forced to stop his expansion and killed hundreds of soldiers in a row, finally restraining his atmosphere.

He asked his confidantes to lead troops to guard the city, and he himself led an army of tens of thousands, killing landlords and coercing farmers along the way, heading straight for Jingcheng in the southeast.

The officers and soldiers of the three counties besieged Qingxing for more than [-] days, and finally broke into the city. Li Jinlong and his men and soldiers were all killed by the officers and soldiers.These officers and soldiers, especially those from Huining and Jingcheng, disregarded the military orders and began to loot the city, turning Qingxing City into a mess, and the population of the city was almost halved.

At this moment, news came from the south: Jingcheng was breached by the peasant army!

The officers and soldiers of the three counties had to set off again, and forced to recruit more civilians, because this time not only had to transport food, but also the goods they robbed.

The folk husbands were miserable and fled all the way.

If the number of civilian husbands is not enough, they will be recruited along the way to supplement them, and the officers and soldiers will go wherever they go.The news spread quickly, and the desperate farmers ran away with their families before the officers and soldiers arrived, and some even ran to join Han Qiyuan.

Because of this, Han Qiyuan got the information from the officers and soldiers and ambushed in the mountains by the river in advance.

Hamgyong Road is full of mountains, and only river valleys and coastal areas can pass through.An army of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers (mostly civilians), dragging and killing towards Jingcheng with the looted goods along the way, was ambushed while crossing a river.

Only a few hundred officers and soldiers crossed the river, and the civil and military officials ordered the goods to be shipped, and the goods they had looted had to be shipped over first.

"kill!"

In the mountains on both sides of the river, thousands of peasant troops rushed out.

The officers and soldiers who were halfway across were suddenly in a desperate situation, and the Korean civil and military officials took the lead in fleeing.Some officers, soldiers and civilian husbands also fled. At the same time, many civilian husbands took the opportunity to revolt and chased the rout soldiers all the way to kill them.

Stripping off the armor of the officers and soldiers, Han Qiyuan's beggar soldiers finally looked like an army.

He sent a partial division to attack Qingxing, and led an army of tens of thousands to attack Mingzhou in the south.

In the south of Mingzhou, there is a city of Jizhou, which houses the Jizhou Protectorate.

However, the governor of Jizhou had already taken time out of the nearby troops, and was ordered to go to the south to King Qin.In front of Han Qiyuan, all the cities along the way were empty of troops, and there was no decent resistance at all.

Pyongan Road, Hamgyong Road, Hwanghae Road, North Korea is full of beacon smoke.

The Chinese imperial court did not intervene in it, at most it was Datong's secret work, and their North Korean offline was making trouble.But just a few small operations, and dozens of their off-lines, can turn North Korea upside down, which shows that the local social conflicts have already reached a critical point.

Chapter 947 [Continuing Party Struggle]

The four northern generals, Xianxing Dadu, Jizhou Duhu, Huangzhou Duhu, and Haizhou Duhu, led troops to King Qin one after another. There were no officers and soldiers in the entire northern part of Korea.

As for the General Protector of Pyongyang, he was defeated and died.

The monarchs and ministers of North Korea huddled in Cheorwon.It is located at the north-south hub, which is not only convenient for defense, but also convenient for the confluence of King Qin's troops from all over the place.

"Your Majesty, more than [-] troops from the capital have arrived one after another," Song Junji reported.

Song Junji and Song Shiye were both the former kings of Joseon, and the Shandang (a faction of the Western People's Party) promoted before their death.Song Junji served as the military judge, equivalent to the Minister of the Ministry of War; Song Shilie served as the official Cao judge, equivalent to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Li Wei finally felt a sense of security: "Okay, very good, there are rewards for all of them."

The previous king expanded the army aggressively, and all the elite troops were stationed in Hanyang.There are 1500 imperial guards, 1800 new firearms battalions, and 21000 guards in the Imperial Battalion. In history, the 1000 gunfire soldiers in the North Korean Firearms Battalion were transferred by the Qing Dynasty to fight Cossacks, and they were more heroic than the Eight Banners Army. , The number of enemies killed is far higher than that of the Eight Banners Army.

When Li Wei abandoned the city and ran away, he didn't even care about the army, and only took away 1500 imperial troops.

Some of the rest of the army chose to surrender to the Datong Army because of their families, while others fled with the officers in the chaos.After the Qin King's Order was issued, these fleeing troops actually took the initiative to gather to the king, and more than 6000 people arrived one after another.

The peasants in northern North Korea bombed at one point, but the army in Gyeonggi Province in the central part was still loyal to the king.

As for the southern part of Korea, it was dominated by two groups of nobles and gentry, you can understand it as the Jiangnan area of ​​Ming Dynasty.

Even if China wants to annex North Korean territory, it is best to only swallow the north.Once the south-central region is annexed, there will inevitably be riots one after another, and the annual cost of garrisoning troops and fighting chaos will remain high.

Li Wei gave Song Junji full command of the army, and the soldiers began to reorganize immediately.There are more than 8000 people in the Central Army, and more than 3 local Qinwang troops, and more than [-] volunteers (tuanlian and civilian husbands) were recruited on the spot.

Li Eunai, the leader of the Hwanghaedo Peasant Army, sent 3000 vanguard troops, but was killed by North Korean officers and soldiers halfway.Although the artillery of the North Korean Central Army was lost in Hanyang, the gunfire soldiers and cavalry were still there, and it was a unilateral crush when dealing with the peasant army.

At the same time, Han Qiyuan attacked the city all the way, and the peasants in the west of Hamgyong Road were encouraged by this to rise up, and gradually formed four major resistance forces.

Yuan Shoucheng of Ping'an Road led an army of more than [-] peasants. In addition to the support of Datong's fine work, there was also funding from Taiwanese businessmen behind him.These Taiwanese businessmen are not satisfied with only trading on the Yalu River, and they wish China could wipe out North Korea.

Li En'ai of Huanghai Road led an army of more than [-] peasants. He also had the support of Datong's fine work, and behind it was the sponsorship of Songshang.

Wan merchants and Song merchants are in a competitive relationship, and the two peasant armies are therefore hostile to each other.If it weren't for Datong's meticulous work to communicate, the two rebel armies would most likely be fighting among themselves, and they would fight themselves without the use of North Korean officers and soldiers to quell the chaos.

In Hamgyong Dao, Han Qiyuan commanded more than 6000 troops, and Jin Chang commanded more than [-] troops.Without the support of merchants behind them, they simply couldn't survive, and they revolted under the instigation of Datong Xizuo.

"Li Enai was defeated, and the entire vanguard army was wiped out," said Jin Yanjun, the general of the Datong Army. chaos."

The envoy Dang Chongjun sighed: "Those people from the National Security Council did not say hello, and secretly caused such a big thing. We can't help openly. After all, North Korea is a country, and the peasant army is a bandit."

Jin Yanjun looked at the map of North Korea and said: "We can divide our troops to Chuncheon to prevent the Qin King's army from the south from going north, and at the same time stop the North Korean ruler from fleeing south. As long as Chuncheon is occupied, the food in the south will be very easy." If it is difficult to transport to the north, the North Korean officers and soldiers will definitely be short of food."

"Yes." Dang Chongjun nodded.

Hanyang, Kaesong, and Chuncheon can all communicate by water.

The Datong Army recruited inland ships and quickly divided up to arrive outside Chuncheon City.King Qin's army from Chungcheong Province had just arrived in Chuncheon, and the two sides faced each other across the river without starting a war.

As time went by, the Chosun King Army on the south bank of Chuncheon gradually reached more than 4 people, and they were all blocked by the Datong Army and unable to cross the river.

Datong's army did not attack, and King Qin's army did not dare to cross the river by force.At the same time, King Qin's army didn't dare to take a detour. Once they went to the east and took the mountain road, their grain road might be cut off by the Datong army at any time.

Northwest of Cheorwon, by the Linjin River.

The nearly 5 peasant army and more than [-] North Korean officers and soldiers have been confronting each other across the river for several days.

"My lord, General Lin is here!"

"Which General Lin?"

"General Lin Qingye."

"Hurry up please!"

Lin Qingye, courtesy name Yingbo and nickname Gusong, was a military Jinshi in Korea.

When he was a teenager, he made great contributions in suppressing chaos. When he led the army to serve the king for the first time, North Korea surrendered to Houjin before he arrived in Hanyang.

Then he was stationed in Yizhou (Baozhou) to prepare for Houjin's southward movement. Because the treacherous minister Jinzi blocked the news of his request for help, Houjin's army successfully went southward.Lin Qingye led his troops to serve the king for the second time and beheaded Huang Taiji's nephew halfway. As a result, the Korean king surrendered again.

North Korea sent troops to assist Hou Jin in attacking Daming, and Lin Qingye was appointed Marshal.Lin Qingye sent troops slowly and secretly notified the Ming army to take precautions. The Ming army won a complete victory and the Qing army suffered heavy casualties.

Three years later, Lin Qingye once again served as the marshal and assisted Houjin in fighting against Ming Dynasty.Lin Qingye sent someone to inform the Ming army again, while he advanced slowly. Until the end of the war, the Korean army had not yet contacted the Ming army.Huang Taiji was furious, and Lin Qingye was fired.

Historically, Lin Qingye's Ming general betrayed his relationship with the Ming army.Lin Qingye escaped after being arrested, shaved his hair and became a monk, and fled to Beijing the following year.He also joined the Ming army and fought against Wu Sangui who entered the pass. After his defeat, he was arrested for betrayal by a traitor.Later, on the way back to China, he was assassinated by the traitor Jin Zi.

In this time and space, Lin Qingye did not escape to Beijing due to the early end of the Qing dynasty.But the encounter was not very good, because he and Jin Zidian were sworn enemies, and Jin Zidian became the chief minister of North Korea.

After Jin Zidian was Ling Chi, Lin Qingye was hired, but he was disheartened and chose to go back to his hometown to study and farm.

In this incident, Qin Wang Dajun of Chungcheong Province recommended Lin Qingye as the coach.

Lin Qingye's army was blocked by the Datong Army. He led dozens of cavalry, detoured across the river, and went all the way from the mountains to Cheoruan to escort them.

"General Lin brought these dozens of cavalry?" Li Wei was disappointed.

Lin Qingye explained: "Chunchuan was blocked by the army of the Celestial Dynasty, and King Qin's army could not cross the river, so I could only lead dozens of cavalry to rescue them."

Li Wei asked: "In the current situation, how should we fight?"

Lin Qingye said: "The army of the Celestial Dynasty only occupied Hanyang, Kaesong and Chunchuan, and did not fight our army, nor did it aid the rebel army. This shows that the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty does not intend to destroy our country, so we must not fight with the Celestial Soldiers. The top priority , is to wipe out the chaos!"

"The rebellion is so powerful, how can we wipe it out?" Li Wei asked.

Lin Qingye said: "there are only tens of thousands of rebels on the other side. Your majesty will give you a thousand cavalry, and you will be able to destroy them all by riding on the joint battalion!"

Li Wei said: "There are not a thousand riders, only more than 600 riders."

"Barely enough." Lin Qingye said.

Counting the dozens of cavalry brought by Lin Qingye, they could barely make up 65 cavalry.The [-]-year-old North Korean veteran personally led the cavalry across the river from the upper reaches, walking day and night, and going around the rear of the peasant army.

At night, Lin Qingye launched a surprise attack and set fire to peasant barracks everywhere.

The peasant army here is divided into three forces, each fearing each other, purely twisted together by Datong's secret agents.

The northern camp caught fire and was chaotic. The peasant army in the other two camps didn't know to go to rescue, but fled to the west in panic under the leadership of the leader.Lin Qingye took advantage of the chaos to chase and kill more than a thousand soldiers, and took thousands of prisoners.

In the early morning of the next day, when Lin Qingye returned across the river, he angrily reprimanded Song Junji, the soldier who was judged by Cao Cao: "We made an appointment to attack together, and I succeeded in attacking the camp. Why did you hold back?"

Song Junji was a little embarrassed, and explained: "Your Majesty is here, be cautious, and don't move troops lightly. If the bandit army just pretends to be defeated, the King will be in danger, and the officials will be in danger!"

Lin Qingye was so angry that he was trembling all over, and it was like this, and it was like this again, damn civil servant!

When he was king for the second time, he only had [-] troops in his hand, but he was able to kill Huang Taiji's nephew, and also cut off the supply of food to the Qing Dynasty.Obviously still able to fight, even starved the Qing army to death, but the king offered the city and surrendered directly under the pressure of the civil servants!

Now it's a funny show again, he attacked and killed the peasant army at night, as long as the officers and soldiers crossed the river to chase and kill them, the entire peasant army would definitely be wiped out.The great fighter was buried by the civil servants again!

Li Wei was also annoyed by the civil servants. At the same time, he believed in Lin Qingye's ability. He said: "Lin Qing should be the marshal with full power to command the army, and the soldiers must not interfere with the command."

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Lin Qingye bowed excitedly.

Song Junji approached Song Shilie privately: "Lin Qingye is a student of Shen Qiyuan, and he wears the same trousers as Yin Kai. If he quells the civil unrest, the Nanren Party will surely make a comeback. How can there be us in the court?" gain a foothold!"

Song Shilie was a little angry, and said, "There are rioters in the north, and heavenly soldiers in the south. Why are you still thinking about factionalism?"

Song Junji said: "The heavenly soldiers occupy the three cities, and there will be no changes after that. They will definitely not destroy our country. They just wait and see the current situation to gain more benefits. The chaos in the north is nothing but a must. All can be calmed down. Only Lin Qingye is the real confidant. His prestige in the army is too high, and even the court officials have his admirers, so we must not let him make great contributions!"

Song Shilie said: "I know Lin Qingye. He has a public heart and will not form cliques to mess with the government."

Song Junji said: "He doesn't form cliques to mess with the government, but he is a descendant of Lin Zheng, and he came from the same school as Yin Kai. We finally drove out the Nanren Party, and we must not let the Nanren Party have the opportunity to re-enter the court. !"

"But apart from Lin Qingye, who else has the ability to lead troops to quell the chaos?" Song Shilie asked back.

Song Junji gritted his teeth and said: "Xianjing Road is not our country's territory at all, and most of the people there are savages. There is also Ping'an Road, which is a despicable land. These two places, it is better to dedicate these two places to the Celestial Dynasty, and let the civil unrest be put down by the Celestial Soldiers. In this way, not only solving the civil unrest, but also allowing the Celestial Empire to retreat, isn’t it the best of both worlds?”

Song Shilie was furious: "You who sell land for glory, I am ashamed to be in the party with you. From now on, I will quit the Shandang, and I will never cede land and donate land!"

Chapter 948 [A Group of Insects]

"Lin Qingye has become a marshal. I'm afraid the North Korean rebel army will not be able to hold on." Jin Junyan, the leader of the Datong Army, said worriedly.

Dang Chongjun smiled and said, "Others can win, but Lin Qingye certainly can't...Mr. Yin, please come in."

Yin Shandao, a great Korean Confucianist and the teacher of the former king, strode to the center of the room and greeted Dang Chongjun and Jin Junyan.He is not only the Nanren Party, but also the first Korean official to go to China after the establishment of the Datong New Dynasty. He has always advocated learning Chinese New Confucianism.
